Students coming in to our program are blown away when they learn that they didn’t need to take the Civil Discipline exam just because they got their degree in Civil Engineering or the Chemical Discipline exam just because they got their degree in Chemical Engineering.

Nope, not necessary, they could have just took the strategic route of focusing on the “Other Disciplines” Exam.

This was my personal strategy when taking the exam myself, and the strategy that has proven over time to be one blanketed with success (even for those who had failed the exam 6 times – The Jimmy Maier, Bonnie Manbcuso, Zach Shepherd et al Experience).

This strategy works, and we build around what works.

After all, it’s our duty to prepare you to succeed on this exam, even if that means doing some things *outside the box*.

The Other Discipline has the highest passing percentage for all the FE Exam specifications, and there are legit reasons why, here are a few:

Catch All:

The “Other Discipline” specification is built to be a *catch all* geared towards all disciplines, not any one specifically.

For this reason, the exam may span across more subjects, but to a depth that is far less than what you would be expected to know on the discipline specific exams.

As an example of this, for Statics, a Mechanical Engineer would be expected to have a more seasoned knowledge base at a depth that a Nuclear Engineer wouldn’t have.

Now because both the Mechanical Engineer and the Nuclear Engineer may take this same exam, they need to gear the questions to accommodate them both.

No Discipline Specific Subjects:

Also, because of this being a catch all exam, the NCEES can’t expect someone to know the discipline specific subjects such as Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation, Environmental Science, or Linear Systems and Signals.

Because these subjects are off the shelf, that leaves a need to fill in questions in other *general* topics such as Mathematics and Probability and Statistics.

This is good, in favor of us, because a lot of what we can do using our calculator (the hacks) will be found in these subjects. The more chance to bank points and time using our hacks is the golden ticket to success.

There are strategies that can be deployed to increase your chances of success on this exam, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

What makes Prepineer so different?

We all have an Engineer inside of us, but we battle being recognized as one by those around us because we haven’t passed the FE Exam.

Look, we get it.

We help our students pass the FE Exam, combining realistic material review with personal 1-on-1 coaching, maximizing the time you have now while balancing the responsibilities of life, family and work.

As an engineer, you do what you do for a variety of reasons…and pursuing a Professional Engineering license is no exception.

Some of us are looking to advance our careers.

Some of us want an all out change in the direction of our lives.

And regardless of what the underlying reason is, fulfilling a commitment that we made to ourselves or serving as a role model for our family is the driving force behind them all.

While our reasons may be different on many fronts, all of us face the challenge of adding a commitment of preparing for the FE Exam to an already exhaustive list of responsibilities.

We understand, because we have been in your same shoes.

It’s not the most “sexy” thing to think about…it’s an exam.

But we all know deep down what it would mean – to our career, to our lives – if we can just somehow make a successful run at the FE Exam.

There’s an obstacle in the way of where you are today and where you want to be going forward.

It comes in the form of an exam.

Our experience in working with Engineers since 2009 has taught us that students appreciate and respond well to a program that is built around realistic material reviews written for the common person combined with real time personal guidance and support to help balance a continued educational pursuit with the competing demands of career and family.

You know what you need to do, it sits deep inside you.

Why?

Because nobody understands what it takes to succeed on the FE Exam more than us, we’ve been there in the trenches ourselves and found success, helping many others do the same who once thought there was never a chance.

'Prepineer equipped me with the resources and coaching I needed that made surmounting this obstacle not only possible, but — dare I say it — easy.'

Ashley Sullivan - Structural Engineer at Aguirre & Fields

'I took this exam five times, I wanted to give up, but Prepineer changed everything for me...they actually care that their students pass, it's truly a team effort.'

William Lucas - Associate Plant Engineer at Charleston Water System

'I don’t know of another website, person or company who goes the extra mile with passion and dedication to push those of us who really need that constant push.'

Larry Herrera - Traffic Engineering Analyst, City of Tempe

What's my investment?

How much is not having passed the FE Exam costing you? How many opportunities to advance are passing you by simply because of an exam? How much are supervisors passing over you because of a paper certification? Do your supervisors even consider what you can bring to the table?

The fact that you have not passed the FE Exam may already be costing you a great deal.
